I don’t understand why this was so difficult to find. But now that I have found it, I want to share it with teh world. Find in the below link a very useful spreadsheet of AD Attributes, as well as good information for reference.

Dropbox Security Flaw
Read about it here. I try not to republish content, but the pertinent bit is this:
Newton’s concept, tested on a Windows machine, uses Dropbox’s own configuration files; configuration data, file/directory listings, hashes which are stored in numerous SQLite database files located in %APPDATA%\Dropbox. Inside one file lies a database row containing a users “host_id”, which is used to authenticate each individual user.
Modifying this file and changing the host_id to that of another Dropbox user automatically authenticates the account, providing complete access to that person Dropbox until the user realises that there is a new computer in the “Linked Devices” section of the Dropbox website.
As you should Dropbox or no, encrypt sensitive data with an out of band key (password/phrase/yubikey/token).
Personally, I agree with Dropbox’s statement that if an attacker was able to gain access to your local files, that gaining access to the dropbox’d files is already a lost battle. However, gaining access to the dropbox account without a password is where I have issue. In either regard, I will continue to promote dropbox as the best cloud based replicator out there.
Open a Command Prompt with Local System privileges
So, we both know that you can use the “AT” command (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313565) to schedule jobs as Local System.
Guess what? Use it to open a command prompt as local system! Genius! I can’t take credit though, link to source.
Copy Pasta below:
Windows XP
1. Open a command prompt > CMD
2. Run the ‘at’ command with the following syntax: “at hh:mm /interactive cmd ”
3. At the time in the command a new command prompt window will open. This window is running as local system.
4. In the new command window test the permissions. Example: “net use * server\share”
hh:mm = is the time in 24 hour time at which you want the new DOS box to open.
Windows Vista/7
Download PSTools from SysInternals. You will use the file named PSexec.exe.
1. Find the shortcut to the CMD prompt (Start, type CMD in the search box and wait for it to locate it…should be pretty fast). Once it locates it, right click it and choose to “Run as administrator”. (Do this even if your user account is an admin.)
2. Once the command prompt opens, change the directory path to the location of PSexec (unless psexec is in a folder in your PATH already).
3. Type the following line. (-i is for interactive, -s is to run as system)
psexec -i -s cmd.exe
4. Once you hit enter, another command prompt will open that will be running as the system account (NT Authority\System).
Dropbox for Teams
WHAT?! https://www.dropbox.com/teams. Just click on it.
This is Awesome-Sauce in response to user requests for enterprise ready dropbox, Dropbox for Teams allows IT organizations to deploy dropbox to end users in SAAS fashion.
That being said, I’ve been short on posts lately on account of some severe workload. Will post more soon.
